Rupert, Yes, there is a red cabbage recipe in my Czech cuisine repertoire. I'm happy that my family's treasured Czech recipes are appreciated. I'm always looking for an excuse to visit Canada, so if a trip ever materializes, I'd be happy to throw a Czech cuisine party and share these hearty favorites.

Derdriu - You keep posting these great recipes - and I don't have time to make them all. How about you come and visit us in Canada for a week and teach me how to make this great food. By the way, I'm sure you have great recipe for red cabbage - yes?
